My son used to play this for me … he passed away at 18 from cancer in October of 2021. Every time I hear this I cry my eyes out it’s perfect ! Tupac was phenomenal ! ❤️❤️❤️RIP Shad ❣️❣️❣️🕊🤍🤍🤍

No BS, this is exactly what Pac wanted for his music. To not just heard but felt and appreciated by anyone and everyone

[larrysmith]

Pac wasn't just a rapper. He was an artist. A poet

[gozyfcf]

Every son dreams of this kind of relationship with their dad.

[NicksStrengthandPower]

This is such a beautiful snapshot of the human experience. Made me tear up seeing your dad tear up. This is what music is supposed to represent emotions and feelings that cross generations and cultures.

[FreecopyrightItA]

A man who gets emotional in front of his son and a strong father with a big heart, your father is my hero ❤

[boon]

Can't believe it's been almost 30 years since Pac left us. The 90s still feel like 10 years ago for me.

My oldest son played this son for me when I came home for rehab in 1995. October 5, I will be 30 years clean and sober. I love Tupac music he's a poetic genius.

I feel like no one can get through “Dear Mama” without crying

[jamedraa]

Tupac's mother has a great story also. She was a Black Panther who defended herself against government charges and won. Though she had her struggles, she was an amazing woman. RIP.

[Thatssoalethia]

The best line, "Even though you were a crack fiend mama, you'll always be a BLACK QUEEN, mama." Gets me every time.

[natashawright]

I lost my mom she didn’t have any crack addictions but she was an alcoholic up until the last year of her life she was alcohol free and she spent it with me!! You still my black queen mama, YOU ARE APPRECIATED!😢

[marinchihwai]

For the Father to openly cry in front of his son and look him in the eye while expressing himself...WOW if more fathers were this vulnerable and present and willing to honour/live up to that role in their children's life's especially their son's... just imagine what the world would look like...as a male and music lover thank you for this video experience 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾!!!

I'm 55, and a white woman. I was a single mother in the 90's, raising three children completely on my own without any support from anywhere, living in public housing and supporting all four of us on $13 an hr. It was rough. This song particularly, helped me get through those years, knowing I was seen and understood so accurately, and appreciated. Tupac was an amazing man aside from his music, well ahead of the consciousness of that era, and even to this day. Much more advanced and elevated in his Soul, like Prince. I will forever and ever hold this man in my heart for all the strength he gave me through his music for a lot of trials and tribulations in a socioeconomic trench. I felt comforted by the lyrics, the beats, the will never, ever, ever, ever be another Tupac. I hope he really is in Cuba living his life in Peace, but then again....maybe he is in another dimension far away from this nonsense called 'humanity'. Love you forever Pac.

I was in prison and it was lock down. We only had the radio playing for hours. Dear Mama came on and I felt like crying. I looked around and saw literally everyone else tearing up, if not, burying their face in the pillow to hide their tears. I felt like we all had a story and realized that we're all human no matter what we did to get there. All of us shared a moment and were all equal for that few minutes. I can't hear it without crying to this day. Respect ✊🏾

[BeezyBee]

Don't ever apologize for showing your true raw emotion!! .. I cried with you!

[gigicornett]

In 2009, the song was added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress, who deemed it a work that is "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States."[3] In a press release, the organization called the song "a moving and eloquent homage to both the murdered rapper's own mother and all mothers struggling to maintain a family in the face of addiction, poverty and societal indifference."

[souljarain]

Almost 3 decades and this song still puts a tear to my eyes. RIP 2Pac.

[adrianmoreno]

“The music doesn’t dominate, it’s just there. It’s perfect.”

[shaniececarroll]

No cursing, no disrespect to black women and still he gets his point across. Tupac was truly an inspiration to me. More music needs to be made like this.
